The Center for the Arts was a beautiful place to get married! The space lends its self to an elegant but comfortable setting, and doesn't need a lot of extra decor! The staff were great to work with, very flexible and accommodating. Plus, you're in the heart of Crested Butte!

We loved having our wedding at the Center for the Arts! It’s a beautiful building and the perfect space for live music. Since weather in Crested Butte can be unpredictable, having an indoor venue gave us such peace of mind. The staff on the day of our wedding were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure our guests were well taken care of. I highly recommend the Center for the Arts for anyone planning a special event.

uch a meaningful day. Everywhere you looked, there was this sense of intention and care, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Beyond the space, what really set the Center for the Arts apart was the people. The staff were not only professional and organized, but also genuinely warm and friendly. They made us feel supported from start to finish, handling every detail with such grace that we could relax and truly enjoy the day. It’s rare to find a venue that delivers on both beauty and heart, but the Center for the Arts does. We couldn’t recommend it more highly and would choose it again in a heartbeat.

ctly for such events with a reception area for the cocktail hour separate from the dinner space, outdoor spaces, and private rooms for the family to retreat if needed. Additionally, Tracy and the entire staff were absolutely incredible to work with and it was obvious that it brings them joy by making their client’s event a huge success (which made working with them so much fun!!). We are so very grateful to them all for the perfect reception.
